Embed variable error - EE 5.3.2

Everything looks good in your code. So- it was working, and suddenly broke? Is that the only thing that broke? If you have the ‘title’ bit with the embed variables on a template all by itself with nothing else, what’s it showing?

And double check PHP error logs. Let’s see if anything is weird there.

Oh- and it’s always worth very briefly disabling all extensions to make sure nothing is going weird there. But only briefly- it may break things.

If the meta_title = “” field passes empty then the default text is not displayed. It suddenly stopped working. Plugins turned off for a while but did not help.

Oddly enough, on another server I have the same code in another cms and it works fine there.

<?php $title = “{embed:meta_title}”; echo $title;?> <?php if($title == “”):?> <title>Default text</title> <?php else:?> <title>{embed:meta_title}</title> <?php endif;?>

The condition in php also doesn’t work. If the meta_title field is empty, it does not go further.

Additionally: <? php $ title = “{embed: meta_title}”; echo strlen ($ title);?> It returns 26 despite the empty string.

Problem solved.

meta_title=”{exp:low_variables:single var='default_site:lv_meta_title_{user_language}’ site=’default_site’}”,

With such a record it works fine. Why the short record does not work, I do not know.

It’s not making much sense to me, but I may not be fully understanding everything that was happening. The weirdest bit to me would be if it was working and suddenly broke. Something definitely had to have changed for that to happen, but there’s nothing I know of that would have jammed those embed variables.

Very odd!

For me this situation is also quite strange. At the moment I don’t know what could be the reason.

If there’s more weirdness, it may be worth signing up for a month of support and having us dig into it. It just sounds really odd and I don’t love it.

Fingers crossed, it’s a glitch and just solved itself.
